I got ink on my orange patent leather shoes!?

Question

Can someone please advise me how to safely get blue pen ink off my beautiful SHERBERT ORANGE patent leather pumps? they are ruined, there has to be a way to get the ink off without ruining the finish of the shoe... right?!?!?

please please help. Thank you!

Answer 1

try a gum eraser, or an artists eraser.

Answer 2

Try spraying them with hairspray- it dissolves the ink & you can carefully blot it off with a tissue. Mom uses this to get ball point ink off a white leather couch after she drops her pen while doing crosswords.
